[QUOTE="soberups, post: 911571, member: 14668"] The conversation (for me at least) is pretty much the same every year. Me: "Well boss, I can probably get all of my air off on time, but at the cost of bringing 20 missed stops back at 9:30 tonight. I will also be in danger of going over 60 DOT hours. And you will need to give me $20 to buy fuel on route so I can make it back to the building." Boss: "Just go out there and be as productive as you can, if they are late they are late." Me: "Ok." Its called "triage". Sometimes a few packages must die so that a greater number may live. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. One late air is infinitely preferable to 20 missed ground stops, once you start bringing missed stops back they snowball on you and before you know it your truck is bricked out and you are so far in the hole that you cant catch up.
